Hello!!
What a busy week we have had! This week has been an igneous rock week for us. The students have been taking notes on igneous rocks, so you can look for those in their folders. They got to see various examples of felsic and mafic, and fine-grained and coarse-grained igneous rock. Students are now working on a small research project about an igneous rock formation called a volcanic neck. There are three of them in the United States. I put the students into pairs and assigned the pairs on the the three. We are going to put the information onto a glog. This is a new computer tool that I started using last year. It lets the students create a poster and customize it to fit their purposes. There are even animation graphics! It is a very cool tool!! We will have a test over igneous rocks one day next week. Students will study from the notes that I have given them this week. I will let you know what day the test will be next week. It will not be Monday or Tuesday because we have to review for the test and present the volcanic neck glogs. The students will be setting up accounts on the glog and will then be able to show you what they have been doing. I think you will really like it! Well, have a great weekend and I will talk to you again next week! Until then.....
